Summit Christian College is a private Christian college in Gering, Nebraska. It was established in 1951 in Scottsbluff as Platte Valley Bible College. The college is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Learning (ABHE) and offers on-campus and distance education programs leading to bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, and certificates. The college is historically affiliated with non-denominational, Christian churches and churches of Christ of the Restoration Movement. Total enrollment varies between about 40 and 60 students.

History

Early in the college's history, a program of medical missions was the college's major contribution to the efforts of Christian Church-related Bible colleges in the area of world evangelism. The lack of demand and difficulty to provide for such programs eventually led to the discontinuance of the medical mission program at the college.

In 2005, Platte Valley Bible College changed its name to Summit Christian College. Three years later, Summit Christian College moved into a newly remodeled campus in the neighboring city of Gering.
